Research project

Renovation, privatisation, and conversions of rental housing - what are the consequences? (Vetenskapsrådet)

The aim of this project is to systematically assess the impact conversions, privatisations, and renovations of rental housing have had on segregation in Sweden. We will study these processes in a systematic way with four ‘simple’ questions; Who, where, when, and what are the consequences in terms of segregation?

First, we will map out where and when conversions, privatisations, and renovations have been taking place in Sweden, using Swedish register data covering the total population from 1990-2022.
Second, we will analyse, using regression techniques, who, in terms of characteristics of the tenants, are living in and leaving areas that are undergoing renovations, conversions, and privatisations.
Third, we will assess whether conversions, privatisations, and renovations are followed by a social change in the neighborhood. We will study how the characteristics of the tenants within these areas have changed over time and what difference this change has for cities/towns in terms of segregation.
The processes we study have an impact on the spatial distribution of public and private rental housing and the composition of households within these sectors in nearly all places in Sweden. The distribution of the public housing sector is of key importance for levels of segregation in Sweden. Thus, the outcomes of this project will provide policymakers with important information on how the future
challenges of the rental sector will unfold.
